Abstract

A computerized method of language instruction which relies on language annotated video, such as popular third party videos which may be downloaded or streamed from third party servers or other sources. Here the language instruction service will generate instruction scripts containing native language text and translated text of the video, along with various computer instructions. This instruction script may then be read by script interpreter software which may run within a web browser. The system can interpret user GUI commands, such as mouse hovering commands to control playback of the third party video and annotate this playback with various language instruction tools and games.
